yes. i also got mine from amazon.

the parts that need improvement are discussed in the customer reviews near the bottom of the page. powder dispenser and scale are the items i remember getting lukewarm reviews. those parts are cheap to upgrade. so no worry.


you need dies for the caliber that you are reloading.

for some reason i have 2 sets of .223 dies. i know i purchased one, i'm not sure if the other came with the kit.

i purchased a 2" bench top cut off saw [$32]

a jig to cut my cases [$13] 300blk

a case length guage [$10] 300blk

ammo loading tray [$7]

dies [$39] for each caliber

digital caliper [$16]

frankford scale [$32]

frankford bullet puller [$16]

tumber kit [$75]

i spent a good month or so on /r/reloading before i actually purchased anything.

i asked questions and made a shopping list.

those guys are very helpful

research what you actually need for the caliber / bullet grain you want to reload before you buy anything.

double and triple check what powder you need as well. it could save your life.


i kinda over did it with supplies

haven't opened half the boxes yet.

You can get a lee bench kit for like $120-140ish and it has just about everything you need to get started. Seen em on midway for $130. Amazon has one for $90 so if you have prime free 2 day shipping i think they even do free prime for college students too https://www.amazon.com/Lee-Precision-Anniversary-Challenger-Kit/dp/B00162RM3E

Hello fellow Santa Clara County resident! Lucky you for purchasing your weapon after the AR-15 registration cutoff date. Like a chump I wanted a shiny new toy for christmas and ended up waiting at Bay Area Gun Vault for almost 5 hours; made the DMV look easy.

Onto your question; most guns these days come with crappy cable locks that meet the minimum definition of a gun locking device. I'd ask when you go in to purchase if the gun will come with one. If it doesn't, you can always get something like this on Amazon while you wait out the 10-day period.

Anyways, enjoy yourself, good luck on the purchase. Also, unsolicited advice; have you considered a bolt action?!

Friend got back to me. It’s a beautiful grip laser. Here’s the amazon link: Crimson Trace LG-402-M Lasergrips Red Laser Sight Grips for Beretta 92/96/M9 Pistols - MIL-SPEC https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000VNNYQ8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_xFwMDbWDNK1C3

The stock rail is not fantastic, but it will work, and it's included. It's a place to start while you figure out what direction you want to go.

Do you plan to install better iron sights, or make it optic only?

I have this scope on mine. (And the Nodak Spud iron sights, the rear sight is the railed version) and for the money, you can't beat it. It's gotten me at least 6 Appleseed rifleman scores at like 4 different Appleseeds.

> At 16.16 a box (after 10% discount for buying the gun) not sure if this is a good deal.

New brass 9mm goes at .20-.25/round. Some online sellers are shipping to SF, you need to check Cabelas, Natchez, Lucky Gunner, Ammunition Supply Warehouse, Target Sports. I think they all send to "hippie" places. You may find some others on ammoseek. Or you can find a friend outside of SF/Oakland proper.

> they recommend cleaning after every range trip

It wouldn't hurt. Oil itself is not enough. You can buy a Hoppes kit and it will have everything you need (except the bore snake, if you want to use it). This is also useful.

> Any recommendation for trainers in the SF bay area?

I know Reed's has some courses but I never took them myself.

I got an S&W 442 from Riflegear and added some Crimson Trace laser grips because sights on pocket revolvers suck at best. This at least gets me on target and since it's a pocket carry, I won't have that typical draw where I present the gun optimally.

I run Speer Dot Gold 38 Special +p ammo, gun holds a total of 6... I understand it's not my CZ P-01 with 14+1 rounds of 9mm, but you give up a lot when you pocket carry, but better than not being armed at all.

I really wanted to try a few subcompacts but the roster is very limited.

While $55 does seem a little high for a magazine release with the amount of engineering, marketing, and production the price is reasonable, especially if you do not want to register.

There is also the Patriot Mag Lock for $45 or the classic Prince50 for $17

Where are you finding grip wraps for $150? a Monsterman Grip is $45
an Exile Machine Hammerhead Grip is $30

If you want a Thordsen FRS-15 or a Hera Arms Featureless Stock Then you will be spending ~$150

Of course you could make your own Kydex grip wrap for $11 plus [hardware] (https://smile.amazon.com/Kydex-Holster-Black-Eyelets-Count/dp/B00NKOX0B4/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1483519643&sr=8-2&keywords=kydex) and a heat gun

Amazon - Uncle Mike’s

Uncle Mike's Tactical Rifle Case (Medium, Black) with 3 Magzine Pouches https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0017KWXM0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_-TRRCbFEZ4DG1

I got one of these for my 3gun shotgun with a 12rd tube, that I have plugged to 10rds obviously.

These are very handy for installing the bolt catch: https://www.amazon.com/Wheeler-710906-Engineering-Catch-Install/dp/B01B3NU46C/ref=sr_1_1?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1519798996&sr=1-1&keywords=bolt+catch+install+tool

As far as hammers go, get one that has multiple heads (Steel, Brass & Nylon/Delrin). I use this one but there are several others: https://www.amazon.com/Lyman-7031290-Brass-Tapper-Hammer/dp/B00162SAQ2/ref=sr_1_4?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1519799046&sr=1-4&keywords=gunsmith+hammer

I would use one of the PWS ratcheting end plates instead of a regular castle nut. You don't have to stake it and it has a QD socket as well. They're all I use now: https://www.rainierarms.com/primary-weapons-systems-ratchet-lock-sling-mount-plate-and-castle-nut/

I also have a Magpul Bev Block and use it a lot.

This bag is $32 and has a loop/tab to put a luggage padlock on. It won't stop a thief but it a locked container, meaning the gun itself doesn't have to be locked, just what you're carrying it in.

If you haven't already, have a look at Thinking, Fast and Slow. The basic problem (AFAICT) is that, in practice, people judge risk based on how easy it is to recall an example, rather than statistical likelihood. With the media constantly harping on about a "mass shooting epidemic", this leads people to massively overestimate the risk of being a victim of a mass shooting, and because it's (what Kahneman calls) a "System 1" process (basically his term for "intuitive"), and because "System 2" processes (basically his term for "analytical") are very strongly predisposed toward concurrence with System 1 conclusions, it is almost impossible for data and reason to displace the intuitive presumption that mass shootings are a significant threat.
